Overview
Welcome to the PhD Practice Portfolio in Design. This doctoral programme provides experienced design practitioners with an opportunity to gain formal academic recognition for a sustained and significant contribution to their field of practice. The programme enables candidates to bring together an existing body of professional work through a curated portfolio and critical commentary that demonstrates originality, coherence, and contribution to knowledge or practice at doctoral level. The programme is particularly suited to established practitioners, creative professionals, educators, and industry leaders who have already generated a substantial body of published, exhibited, commissioned, or otherwise publicly recognised work.
Entry requirements
Applicants must hold a Master's degree or demonstrate equivalent qualifications or experience. Candidates are expected to be actively engaged in professional design practice or higher education. Applications involve the submission of a portfolio proposal identifying the body of work to be presented and the basis upon which a doctoral award is sought. Candidate suitability is determined through review by an academic selection panel.
